It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we have to learn fractions and decimals. A fraction represents a part of the whole. It has two parts, the numerator (number on the top) here, 8 represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 8. A decimal is a way to represent a number that is not whole, using a (.) or a decimal to separate the whole part from the fraction part. The numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the whole, and those to the right represent the fractional part.
8/8 in decimals can be written as 1. It is a terminating decimal, indicating that it does not repeat infinitely.
To get 8/8 in decimal, we will use the division method. Here, since 8 is equal to 8, division will give us exactly 1. Let's see the step-by-step breakdown of the process:
Step 1: Identify the numerator and denominator because the numerator (8) will be taken as the dividend and the denominator (8) will be taken as the divisor.
Step 2: As 8 is equal to 8, we can directly divide them.
Step 3: Since 8 divided by 8 equals 1, there is no remainder, and we get a whole number. The division process ends here with no remainder, resulting in a terminating decimal.
The answer for 8/8 as a decimal will be 1.
